Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

SPENCER DAVIS GROUP : Their First LP (1965)

Welcome to July - thankfully another month closer to Winter, as the heat & pollen is doing me in !! Last night I finally got round to watching a music doc that I sky plussed last week - "Steve Winwood - English Soul". Excellent career biopic with some excellent archive clips going back to the start of Winwood's career as a teenage prodigy with the Spencer Davis Group. Here then is their debut album - what an imaginative title !!

I actually got into Traffic first, though was lucky enough to pick up a mint vinyl copy of the "Autumn '66" album (post to follow) for 50p at a Car Boot Sale on holiday in 1986.

Over the next few days I plan to post the rest of Winwood's output with the Davis group as well as some Traffic material to follow.

    I used to have this way back when. I still have my moments when I prefer this version of Every little bit hurts over Brenda Holloways. Thank you!

    It's a great version isn't it ? I rate Winwood's voice up there with Steve Marriott & Paul Rodgers.
